Title:
Day at the Zoo
Description:
Jigsaw puzzle featuring the classic July 29, 1944 The New Yorker magazine cover artwork titled "Day at the Zoo” by Hungarian‑American illustrator Tibor Gergely. The illustration presents a whimsically crowded zoo scene rendered in a folk‑art style, with families and children walking through a lively park filled with animal enclosures, carnival rides, and colorful buildings. Details include a Noah’s Ark‑shaped structure, a castle‑like play area, a children’s zoo sign, a bridge filled with visitors, and numerous animals such as elephants, giraffes, and seals, all painted in bright, saturated colors. The box front notes that it is a jigsaw puzzle made in the USA and highlights the association with The New Yorker. The side band of the box reads "New York Puzzle Company” and prominently displays the pink accent band at the bottom with the puzzle title "Day at the Zoo” and the artist credit "Tibor Gergely,” along with a large notation that it contains 1000 pieces.
